Getting the right Bounding Box for LaTeX

---

Postscript figures generated with PGPLOT work with the usual latex generating routines, but seem to fail with pdflatex.

Encapsulated postscript files have a BoundingBox defined in their header which is used by pdflatex to generate the right PDF image.

Two step process - convert the postscript file into an encapsulated postscript file, and the convert the encapsulated postscript file into a PDF file.

ps2eps -B -l -g -f f3_final1.ps

-f will force overwrite
-B ignores current BB
-g uses ghostscript BB device instead of externally called bbox routine
-l expands all BB dimensions by one point

Then use ps2pdf to get the PDF produced.

ps2pdf -dEPSCrop f3_final1.eps

Examining the pdf in ghostivew and in Preview now works.
